Students in Miss Caputo's year 9 HASS class have been learning about the judicial system in Australia. Students engaged in a role-pay mock court trial - the case of Dorothy Gale. Miss Gale was charged with two crimes, the theft of the ruby slippers from the Witch of the East, and second-degree murder of the Witch of the West.

Students were allocated a role and solidified their knowledge and understanding of court proceedings, the intention of the prosecution, defence, judge, and jury to sentence the accused. Unfortunately for Miss Gale, the jury returned a unanimous guilty vote, and she has vowed to never return to Oz!
